A
Knoxville man is in custody after wrecking his vehicle into a
telephone pole on Chapman Highway when Knoxville Police Department
officers attempted to pull him over for reckless driving. William
Franklin Martin was arrested after he was seen on Chapman Highway
early Saturday morning swerving between lanes near Blount Avenue.
According to the report, an officer attempted to initiate a traffic
stop, but Martin pulled up to the order screen at McDonald's. Martin
then sped away and led police on a high-speed chase until he crashed
his vehicle into a telephone pole near Taliwa Court. Officers
determined Martin was driving impaired after finding alcohol inside
the vehicle. Records showed he was driving with a revoked license.
Officers reported a handgun lying in the driver's side floorboard.
Official reports said the firearm was reported stolen from Johnson
City. KPD also said officers confiscated hundreds of dollars in cash
on Martin.
Knoxville
Police said Martin is a convicted felon out of Knox County and North
Carolina.

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
Humans move their eyes more 100,000 times a day. If your eyes tend to feel tired at the end of the day, it’s because they do a ton of work. Humans generally move their eyes around three times a second, which is more than 100,000 times every single day.

Authorities say a Florida man accused of threatening his family ended a four-hour standoff with police after he was promised a slice of pizza. The Pensacola News Journal reports that 33-year-old Evan Charles McLemore was arrested and charged with resisting an officer and aggravated stalking. Police say officers responded to a report of a possible battery at the Pensacola home and found McLemore had barricaded himself in a room. Officers say McLemore claimed to have a gun, so they brought in a SWAT team. Crisis negotiators eventually managed to coax McLemore out with the promise of pizza. It wasn't clear if he actually received a slice. (https://bit.ly/2SxYiVT)

A
Wisconsin man was sentenced to 150 days behind bars on Monday for
intentionally clogging the toilets in the women’s bathroom at his
workplace. Patrick D. Beeman was handed the jail sentence plus three
years of probation for repeatedly using a water bottle to create a
blockage in the women’s bathroom at the community center where he
worked. Beeman told police “he could not explain this behavior, but
simply that he would get very strong urges to do this.” The man
apologized for his behavior in a statement he read during the
sentencing hearing. “I need to make things right and pray
forgiveness every day,” he said. The toilet caper was uncovered
when officers discovered an overflowed toilet at the Deland Community
Center last March. Cops then discovered that similar incidents had
taken place at least ten times at the location since April of 2017.
Judge Kent Hoffmann sentenced him to thirty days for each of the five
counts of criminal damage to property, citing the need for a more
severe punishment. (https://nyp.st/300sIUO)
